We have just released a new RHEL6-based kernel, 042test005. It is shaping up pretty good — as you can see from the changelog, it's not just bug fixes but also performance improvements. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest to do it today! Do not postpone this until 2011 — after all, this is what will become the next stable OpenVZ kernel.

RHEL6 kernel needs an appropriate (i.e. recent) Linux distribution. If you don't want latest Fedora releases, can't afford RHEL6, and tired of waiting for CentOS 6, I suggest you go with Scientific Linux 6 (SL6). This is yet another RHEL6 clone developed and used by CERN, Fermilabs and other similar institutions.

While SL6 is still at its infancy (they have recently released alpha 3 and plan to release beta 1 at Jan 7 2011), it it worth trying since it's based on a very stable set of sources from RHEL6. Repositories and stuff are available from http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/

Kir, this kernel dies a few seconds after boot using your default config and compiled with gcc-4.4.5. The unpatched 2.6.32 kernel is solid using the same configuration. Are you sure you guys are testing this thing before release? I am using veth.

Re: dud kernel
Hi Daniel!

Hmm, looks like it's for you only, ie I haven't seen any other report like this one.

Care to get some logs and file a bug to http://bugzilla.openvz.org/?
